CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:

Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.

To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.

Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.

When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.

Indeed, whole countries' media seem bias. Taking the recent Tibet controversy as an example, you will note the pictures of Nepalese police brutality claimed to be Chinese police, selectively cropped images to distort truth (hands from monks helping monks cropped into how a monk was oppressed and subjugated) as well as misinformation spread by the general western press (Kathmandu in Tibet?). Conversely Chinese media has not been terribly reliable either, entirely state owned and operated, giving discredit to images of riots and Tibetan brutality. It really is difficult to find unbias journalism these days. Perhaps also why blogs have become so popular, individuals tend not to rigorously push political objectives.

Not anymore! I think John Mayer put it best in his song Waiting for the World to Change: "Now if we had the power, To bring our neighbors home from war, They would have never missed a Christmas, No more ribbons on their door, And when you trust your television, What you get is what you got, Cause when they own the information, oh, They can bend it all they want."

Best Question YET... Anyone who trust the news casts or anchors needs to have a brain scan to remove un-wanted junk and debris.News on our airwaves, news papers and blogs are terrible opinions from big mouths and no brain who like to hear themselves talk. I implore everyone to use your own wits and take some time to investigate everything you hear in the news before you judge or believe the words communicated to you
